*Work out tunes* what are you listening to?

mavis11

Hey everyone

I've been listening to the same tunes now for a couple of months during training and keen to get some new ideas for work out tunes.

I've been loving Apocalypto (Presets) for cycling / interval training and Kasabian's new album for other cardio.

What are you listening to?

I'm not sure if it's available to the US but I've downloaded Ministry of Sound Electronic 80s and Running Tracks from iTunes. Running Tracks especially good for cardio especially running.

I'm slightly embarassed to admit that I am addicted to the Glee Season 1 soundtrack at the moment! :blushing:

Don't laugh - but i need dance music...and music that makes me want to move...will smith, earth/wind & fire, KC and the sunshine band.

I'm loving glee too!!! Lol

Rock chick at heart but when I'm exercising it's all about the trance! Darude Sandstorm, Chicane Saltwater and Faithless Insomnia are great running/cardio tracks. As much as I don't really like him, I find the beat in Basshunters music is quite good for running to (when I actually attempt to run) as well.

Normally I listen to something like Linkin Park (for Cardio) and Red Hot Chilli Peppers (when rowing) but last week for some reason my ipod went into shuffle and played loads of random stuff.

Surprisingly the tracks it picked went together pretty well and made it more interesting than normal.

My friend Lee listens to the "Rocky" Soundtrack when running !!!!!! :noway:

I teach fitness to latin music and when I run (I hate running) I listen to NIN.

I love to listen to a few Kanye West songs, anything Fergie--her songs are fun to work out to! And I now I throw Carrie Underwood and her new song "Cowboy Casanova" in. That's what I normally finish my run to. Oh yeah, sometimes I throw some old school Brittany Spears, Backstreet Boys, and N'Sync in there!!

I have a little bit of everything on my ipod but the song that gets me in the moment right now is Rhianna's "Hard". It's got that nice steady bass line to get in sync with and the lyrics make me think to myself "She bounced back and it was hard, I can do that to"

XFitMojoMom

just "updated" my playlist to include
Bulletproof - La Roux
Dirt off your Shoulder - JayZ
Blah Blah Blah - Kesha
Cha-ching - Hedley
Ex Girlfriend - No Doubt

Lady Gaga has some good music to exercise to

CB82

Lady Gaga, her new album "The Fame monster" is really good. I like to work out to DJ Slinky Inter-continental...great tunes fast moving music that gets you into the mind set of wanting to keep up with the beat!

I'm the same. My playlist is all over. I put anything on it that makes me want to shake it. Usher, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Pink. I just added some Earth, Wind & Fire too! I also have just added The Ting Tings ("That's Not My Name" and "Shut Up and Let me Go")

XFitMojoMom

we love the ting tings here - my cell ring tone is "that's not my name"!

I SO do this! And p.s. I end up punching the whole way, and I burn more calories and feel victorious after!! Don't judge

I'm a "70s" girl so I listen to a lot of Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, Doobie Brothers, John Mellencamp and ABBA. The Eagles have a few good ones and The A-Teens are awesome for cardio. I am always looking for new music...I tend to get bored with the same old, same old....

I recommend the Klaxons album "Myths of the Near Future" - I can't go on the cross trainer without it!

samantha2417

For cardio I need something with a good beat or heavy metal. Love Linkin Park, Metallica, NIN, Lady Gaga, Rhianna. Always on the lookout for new music to listen to while working out.

nurseandi

queen, bob marley, mika updated today to my list!

shanman

80's Rock - Jovi, Cinderella, Scorpions, Dokken, Tesla, AD-DC, etc. I play "air" drums while on the treadmill as well.

I know, it paints a cool picture, doesn't it. :glasses:

missjboone

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I am addicted to the Glee Season 1 soundtrack at the moment! :blushing:

Me too!!!! it is really peppy!

I also listen to a lot of reggaeton, which is like latin hip hop. I don't always understand it, but it makes it that much more fun!

Andi_Mo

Prodigy (techno), Black Eyed Peas, Cascada, Rihanna (Rude Boy)

LOL, me TOO! Also She's a Maniac from the Flashdance soundtrack. Other stuff as well though. I have a broad mix of musical likes.

Here's a few of my FAV's that I listen to on my iPod when I'm on the treadmill..... and I have a few little "dance moves" that I do to the music that REALLY can get your heart a pumpin'...

Barry Manillow - Copa Cabana
David Lee Roth - Just a Giggalo
Bon Jovi - It's my life
Big & Rich - Love Train (AWESOME beat)

and I do a little running to Gonna Fly Now (of course) and ELO's Mr. Blue Sky is great to run too also!

haha! I love running to Eye of the Tiger and the Final Countdown. I caught myself smirking in the mirror at the gym this morning as I was jogging to these tracks! :laugh:

springgrl

I have a jogging mix on my player that has to have two qualities for me. It has to be upbeat and I have to not get sick of the songs easily b/c I am lazy and don't want to reload it much. Here are some of the songs:

Oukast - BOB, Knowing
April March - Chick Habit (from Deathproof)
Tegan and Sarah - Walking with a Ghost, Superstar
Supergrass - Jesus Came From Outer Space
Love Letter to Japan - Bird and the Bee
Duran Duran - The Reflex, Careless Memories
LCD Soundsystem - Tribulations, North American Scum
Madonna - Human Nature, Impressive Instant

PoeRaven

I have one rule when it comes to workout music...I have to actually like the song.

I'll be looking at some Itunes tonight. Thanks everyone for all the ideas!

I wasn't Judging, I run to The Smiths or Morrissey so i'm in no real position to

hanr

I need music to have a decent beat, and not be too annoying??

Lately I've made a playlist that's full of kasabian, phoenix, bloody beetroots, presets, MSTRKRFT, Deadmau5, the Aston Shuffle etc... and basement jaxx always gets me going! (WHERE'S YOUR HEAD AT!!!!)

Hopefully that is of some help?
